FAQs

What material is the Hampton 4Ft Obelisk made from?

It is made from solid steel for durability and longevity.

Does the price include a finial?

No, the price shown does not include a finial. Finials are available as optional extras and must be chosen separately.

How tall is the obelisk?

The total height is 48" (1200mm), which includes the spikes that are inserted into the ground for stability.

What is the diameter of the obelisk?

The diameter is 12" (305mm).

How do I install the obelisk?

Simply push the ground spikes into the soil in your desired location. For hard ground, pre-loosening the soil or using a rubber mallet may help.

Can I use this obelisk in a pot?

Yes, it can be used in large pots or containers, provided the pot is stable and large enough to accommodate the obelisk and its spikes.

How should I care for the obelisk?

The steel is designed to weather naturally. Periodically check its stability and avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Obelisk is wobbly after installation.

Ensure the ground spikes are fully inserted into the soil. If the ground is very soft, consider adding extra support around the base or relocating to a firmer spot.

Finial does not fit securely.

Check that you are using the correct finial designed for this obelisk model. Ensure any fixing mechanisms on the finial are properly aligned and tightened according to its instructions.

Rust appears on the surface.

A light, natural patina is expected with steel products. For significant rust, clean the affected area gently and consider applying a metal-specific sealant or paint suitable for outdoor use.

  • Includes ground spikes for easy and secure installation.
  • Classic black finish suits various garden designs.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose a suitable location in your garden.
  2. Ensure the ground is relatively soft to allow for easier insertion of the ground spikes.
  3. Grip the obelisk firmly and push the spikes into the soil to the desired depth. If the ground is hard, consider slightly loosening the soil or using a rubber mallet gently.
  4. If purchasing a finial, attach it to the top of the obelisk as per the finial's specific instructions.

Care:

  • The solid steel construction requires minimal care. It is designed to weather naturally.
  • Periodically check that the obelisk remains securely fixed in the ground, especially after strong winds or heavy plant growth.
  • The black finish may develop a patina over time, which is a natural characteristic of steel.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
